Peacestreet Community Center kindly welcomes you to another Resistance Stretching class in Taipei, Taiwan.

【Resistance Stretching】Resistance Stretching is an exercise technique that makes use of opposing forces to stretch body parts with a slowly moving motion. It changes fascia tissues and re-trains movement patterns improving strength and flexibility in an effective and efficient way. The exercises are assigned a Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian and can be used to diagnose the tightness in each meridian as well as stimulate energy flow in them.Physical pain due to limited flexibility can be safely removed and psychological and emotional scars can be treated in a sustainable way.Resistance Stretching can benefit everybody, regardless of how flexible they are or whether they exercise regularly. Main benefits include natural joint and posture alignment, strengthening of core muscles, loosening of tight body parts, strengthening of weak muscles groups, promotion of metabolism, energising the body and mind, improved bowel movements, better sleep quality, etc.
